Sneaker of the Week

There are a handful of brands whose collaborative moxy can illicit a blind buy and one such company is BAIT. This time, they’re putting their magic touch on an Asics release that is meant to celebrate the Gel-Lyte III’s 25th Anniversary. The Nightmare sneaker is so solid that at first glance, we knew it deserved to be our Sneaker of the Week.

Sneaker of the Week is the one time where we let our unabashed love and adulation for a model assert its greatness over all other models that we’ve seen in the past seven days. This week, the iconic Nike Air Flight 89 is being placed on that pedestal with a little help of an even more iconic colorway.

Friday is a special day for several reasons but the main one around here is that it’s the day where we whittle our wonderment down to one lone pair of sneakers that represents the top of the drops aka our Sneaker of the Week. Several pairs could have fallen into the slot, but thankfully brands like Nike and runners like the Air Max lessen the burden of making a pick every time.

Our first look at Supreme’s Jordan Brand collaboration was more of a direct hit than a warning shot as it boasted an upper like nothing we’ve ever seen on the silhouette before. And that was just the beginning.

Supreme has teamed up with Jordan Brand. That’s right, your two favorite names are collaborating on a sneaker and we can already imagine the melee that will ensue upon the release.

This sneaker simply keeps finding ways to make us fall in love with it all over again and this time, it's done so by borrowing the vibe of another infamous runner. The mix of the two is absolute perfection and more than worthy of being our Sneaker of the Week.

It's not every day that you see a G.I. Joe-themed sneaker release, but our friends over at BAIT have made it happen. They've put together two toy-themed sneakers with New Balance that look good enough to have us all reliving our childhood memories in style, which isn't an easy task at all. The drop is so thorough that we've decided to make it our Sneaker of the Week.

It seems like designer Hiroshi Fujiwara has been responsible for some of Nike's brighter moments as of late. Anytime Fragment Design pops up, you can bet your bottom dollar that the product is worth lining up for and will almost immediately sell out. Well, Fuijiwara is back at it with the Nike Air Trainer 1 and based on all parties involved alone, it's a shoe-in for our Sneaker of the Week.

Melody Eshani's Reebok capsule is back, and seeing as how it packs two impressive silhouettes, making it our coveted Sneaker of the Week feature was a given.

If you haven't seen the packaging for CLOT's latest release, prepare to be simultaneously bowled over and upset at missing out on it. Upon seeing the initial product shots of the release, we had to make this model our Sneaker of the Week.
